[GNC] Input validation issue on investment accounts when changing number format.

[Murugan Muruganandam]

hi John

number format in portugal is 1.234,56 so i think you typed it in reverse

on fractional shares, please go the security editor and check if the security allows fractions
Then check the account property check if smallest fraction is selected as Use Commodity Value

Subject: [GNC] Input validation issue on investment accounts when changing number format.

I recently moved countries from the Netherlands (which uses a number format like "1.234,56") to Portugal (which uses a number format like "1,234.56"), and for completeness, at the same time I moved from a Windows PC to a Mac M1. Everything seems to have moved over just fine, I can use the Portuguese number convention everywhere, except that when I try to buy/sell shares from my investment account, I can't enter a fractional amount of shares - well, not simply. The input field insists that I use a "," for the decimal separator, then strips it out because the system decimal separator is a "." giving a large whole number of shares rather than a smaller fractional number. Everything displays correctly, except while I am editing a number in that specific column (in all the accounts I have tried).
I can actually work around this, by entering something like "1234/1000" when I want "1.234", and that works correctly, but it's a silly way to have to do the entry.

I did try "fix accounts", on the off chance that might help, but no difference.

This is using Build ID: 4.13+(2022-12-17) on my new Mac M1. If someone knows how to fix this, that would be great, but I expect it will have to wait for a bug fix.

sjb.
